January 24, 2023by Erica Mahoney

As the undeniable focal point of a kitchen, choosing your backsplash tile is a major decision. Whether you're designing the kitchen of your dreams or tackling a weekend DIY project, you're sure to find all the inspiration you need in this roundup featuring some of our favorite tiled backsplashes, from eye-catching geometric patterns to moody black stone.

Small-Scale Squares

Made of 4″ x 4″ offset tiles, the backsplash in this Swedish farmhouse-inspired kitchen proves simplicity can still be stunning.

Moody Black Travertine

Dramatic and unexpected, the Noir honed travertine mosaic brings an especially luxe feel to this chic kitchen. Boldly contrasting against the bright white cabinetry, the black stone features subtle silver veining that gently draws the eye throughout the space.

A Touch of Gold

Complete with a custom patterned backsplash, this ultra-glam kitchen is an absolute dream. The vertically stacked Splendours Brown brings rich texture and warmth to the space, while the gold mirrored tile accents - a part of designer Kelli Fontana's upcoming Spring/Summer 2023 collection - instantly offer a grand, high-end feel.

Modern Classic

A go-to for a reason, marble tile brings a unique timelessness to any space it's in. With an elegant blend of warm and cool tones, the Royal Satin White marble backsplash perfectly embodies this kitchen's "modern classic" design style.
